Finder unusable? never said that... is it frustrating as all hell? you bet. Xlisters, to a person, find it unacceptable that the Finder is such a dog... do they use X? yes. i won't, not until the Finder gets at least 90% of the speed that the Finder has in 9.1... i was overjoyed to use the OS X Public Beta, i was crestfallen when i fired up the "official" release... and btw, i jumped on both at the earliest possible chance<br><br>¥À¥

OSX is simply not ready to play with the big boys yet.<br><br>Slow, not enough apps, etc... its all been said before. I suggest you all wait for 10.1 at the earliest.<br><br>Not to mention, Apple is gonna have one hell of a time troubleshooting this thing - UNIX is a bitch to repair. Let alone for newbies...<br><br>It will mature in time. But right now, OS9 is still king of the castle, and trounces OSX in every respect. Yeah, even stability.<br><br><br>

Cipher's right about the applications, and you're both right that X is not ready for newbies. I'll grant you that.<br><br>I love it nonetheless. I'd say call me crazy, but you'll probably do that anyway <br><br>And that's true too/--Shakespeare, King Lear<P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by yoyo52 on 05/27/01 11:34 PM (server time).</EM></FONT></P>

forgive me for being stupid... oh I know you won't..so I may as well start by saying it.. but isn't X somehow the same as that old X386 that WINTEL has finally dispensed with? <br>Im just a simple Mac user who came in to this conciousness late in life and UNIX may as well be XNIU as far as how much I know about it...looks like I will be using OS 9.1 for a while yet.... well until 9.5 that is.<br><br>ask yourself..what have you done to improve our life together today?

yer WAY off... "At its core, Darwin uses BSD" a flavor of UNIX... <br><br>see here<br><br>and<br><br>here too<br><br>and<br><br>this ain't bad<br><br>oh and by the way, Sherlock works very well heh heh <br><br>¥À¥

yes I have been inside the Darwin project looking around, since may/99 but the other comment I made well that was related to something I read... oh well nevermind it may have been my deafness wall again.<br><br>ask yourself..what have you done to improve our life together today?
